Ty: (About "Extreme Makeover: Home Edition") Our show proves that some pretty incredible things can happen when people come together. (edit)
Ty: (When asked what makes him "tick") It's about the joy of doing things for others. (edit)
Ty: (in an interview with the E! network) I would strip down naked, and swing from the blinds in my classroom as a child. (edit)
Ty: (Speaking on the terrible devastation of New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina.) If you lose the sounds coming out of New Orleans, you lose part of the American language. I realize we're just a TV show, but we feel we have a real obligation to let these people know we haven't forgotten about them, that we'll do whatever we can to make things right. (edit)
Ty: (Speaking of the daunting task of rebuilding a home in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina) It was completely different. Usually we help out one family and build one house...It's tough to do one house in a neighborhood that doesn't have any houses. (edit)
